ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area GENERAL INFORMATION Target 6.6 is useful for selective post-emergent weed control, particularly for grassy weeds. Its activity is enhanced by addition of a suitable surfactant (cleared for application to growing crops) to the spray solution. It is most effective on young, actively growing weeds at air temperatures above 70 F. Its phytotoxic properties are quickly inactivated on contact with soil. Note to Users: Do not apply this product in Florida except on cotton in the counties listed in the cotton use section of the label. Aerial application is prohibited, except when applying to cotton.

5 MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Target 6.6 must be thoroughly dissolved. Fill the spray equipment reservoir about half full with water and add the required amount of herbicide and surfactant with agitation. Finish filling the reservoir with water and apply. After use, clean equipment thoroughly by flushing with water. Do not store spray solution in tank for a prolonged period. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1) The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed three-fourth the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2) Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. Information on droplet size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see wind, temperature and humidity, and temperature inversions). Controlling droplet size Volume Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of nozzles Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle orientation Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle type Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. SPC_1/091207_5/11

6 Boom length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less then three-fourths of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. Application height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Sensitive areas This pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive area).

7 COTTON (Postemergent Use Only) Target 6.6 is useful as a directed application in cotton for the post-emergent control of weeds and grasses such as johnsongrass, nutsedge, dallisgrass, cocklebur, barnyardgrass, ragweed, sandbur, and puncture vine. It should be applied at the rate of 2½ pints per acre. Only 1 application at 2 lbs a.i./acre is allowed per season, except when a salvage operation is needed. If a salvage operation is needed (i.e., if pigweed escapes the first application), then a second or repeat application at 2 lbs a.i./acre is allowed. Add 6 pints of Target 6.6 and 1 to 2 quarts of a suitable surfactant (cleared for application to growing crops) to 100 gallons of water and mix thoroughly. Apply spray solution at 40 gallons per acre. Weed control is most effective at temperatures above 70 F. For band application in 40-inch rows, apply 1 gallon of spray solution per inch of band width per acre of cotton. Direct the spray solution to the base of the cotton plant. Nozzles should be placed so as to avoid spraying the cotton foliage. A second or repeat application, if needed, should be timed 1 to 3 weeks after the first application. Apply only as a salvage operation when cotton is 3 inches high, but no later than 6 inches high or early square, whichever occurs first. Preference should be given to directed spray. In order to minimize injury, the second application should be made as a directed spray when possible. Slight burning and a reddish discoloration of cotton leaf may occasionally occur following the recommended treatment; however cotton plants will develop normally and yield will not be affected. Do not apply within 50 feet of permanent water bodies or aquatic habitat, including, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, and estuaries. Do not feed treated foliage to livestock or graze treated areas. Do not make more than two (2) applications per season. Do not apply more than a total of 4 Lbs a.i./acre per season. Do not apply pre-plant to cotton. Do not apply in Florida except on cotton grown in the following counties: Calhoun, Columbia, Escambria, Hamilton, Holmes, Jackson, Jefferson, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, Suwannee, Walton, and Washington counties.
